The old saying holds true: we don�...

The most expensive problems my clients face aren’t complex or sophisticated contract disputes. They’re conversations that never happened. The partner who should have been confronted about their underperformance three years ago. The vendor relationship that just limped along, burning money, because nobody wanted the discomfort of renegotiating the contract terms...
